Reborn From Ashes novel Chapter 238

Meanwhile, things were very quiet inside a black luxury car.

Hayden sat in the front passenger seat, with Jenny and Christina in the back. In between the two in the backseat was the exquisite raw gem.

Christina's gaze was glued to the gem. It was the first time in her life to ever sit that close to something worth 300 million dollars! Too bad it wasn't hers.

"Have you seen enough?" Hayden asked suddenly in a calm voice.

"Huh?" Christina was startled, a flicker of surprise flashing in her eyes. She quickly averted her gaze and lowered her head.

"Tell me, what exactly is your relationship with the Sterling family? Or rather, what's your connection to Lily?" Hayden asked once again.

Christina grew increasingly uneasy and bit her lip. She couldn't explain, nor did she want to. If she failed her mission, Lily would surely take away the money she paid to Christina.

"Even I can tell that you're deliberately trying to get close to Hayden. Drop the act. There's no need for that anymore. Was it Lily who sent you to set Hayden up? Or were you sent to fish out some information from him? It's a honeytrap, right?"

Jenny's eyes lit up as she stared intently at Christina, the tropes from TV shows appearing in her mind. Only a honeytrap would fit the current situation they were in.

"I…" Christina's face fell, her throat tightening. They hit the nail right on the head! She hadn't expected her acting skills to be so bad that even a mere teenager was able to see right through her!

"We can talk later. There's something I need to tell you," Hayden added.

Christina didn't respond, silently confirming their suspicion.

Meanwhile, the driver was somewhat surprised. He was deeply curious about Hayden's composure and demeanor. Just what kind of person could remain this calm and steady given what had happened?

Soon, he dropped Hayden and the others off at their housing complex.
